Packing light
“How can you travel with only one small carry-on bag?” Many people (especially women) think that you can never bring everything you need.
In this blog (including a packing video) l show you exactly what I bring and how I pack.
Virtual closet?
Never pack, do laundry, or drag bags through an airport again. This virtual closet lets you select what you need where and when. Your clothes, sports gear etc. are delivered to your hotel, and picked up and cleaned again when you’re done. Dufl.com works mainly in the USA, for now…
Esther’s insights
Remote presentations
“Some professions cannot be done remotely” seems to be the general opinion. I always mention my own example: as a speaker I have to be at the location of the event. But do i? Recently I was asked to give a presentation to 100 students and companies from the travel industry on Ibiza, while I was in Mallorca. We decided to do it remotely. A first for all of us.
I found a quiet spot in the garden, turned my phone into a hotspot, connected via Zoom, delivered my presentation and did a live Q&A session for 30 mins! It worked out perfectly. No excuses!
Workout in the Louvre?
Travel can be tiring. It is important to take good care of your body. But I am never in one place long enough to join a gym. And – even though I am the ‘no excuses lady’- I don’t always have the motivation to work out by myself. My solution is Bob. With my ‘virtual’ personal trainer I have the accountability, and he helps me to workout anytime, anywhere. Last week I was in Paris and I chose the most amazing and unusual spot for a training: the courtyard of the Louvre museum… It was fun to sweat where others were merely sightseeing. No excuses!
Travel on intuition
Is it possible? Is it safe? Is it fun? Three big YESses! Some pretty cool stories surfaced when I was interviewed about my solo travel to over a 100 countries for a podcast. Listen to ‘my’ episode of ‘Go Solo Live’.
Where is Esther?
I am giving workshops and presentations, seeing friends and enjoying the ‘summer in the city’… while also trying to get through 500 emails in my inbox. Those are my goals this month. How about you?
